Celebration After Dark

Gansett Island Series, Book 14

By: Marie Force

Chapter 1

Mac McCarthy Senior, known to all as Big Mac, woke on the morning of December twentieth to the distinctive sounds of winter on Gansett Island—howling wind, icy snow pinging against the windows and groaning beams in the house he’d called home for four decades. But today was not just any average winter day. On this day, forty years ago, he’d married the love of his life. Today was a day for celebration.

The kids were throwing a party later that Big Mac and Linda weren’t supposed to know about. “Voodoo Mama,” as the kids called her, knew everything they were up to, and she always had. She’d picked up on the scent of a party months ago, which was why they hadn’t planned one for themselves. He had a few surprises of his own to mark the occasion that he couldn’t wait to give her.
